Lieutenant Alison Malone, a helicopter pilot with the United States Navy, is frustrated with her current assignment in Nevada. She is anxious to transfer back to San Diego, where her polished lawyer fiance, Rich, is planning their picture-perfect wedding and future together.
Alison’s path has always been clear until she meets mountain guide, Wil Cavanaugh. His unconventional take on life and adventure is completely opposite from Alison’s structured existence. Sparks fly between the two, but Alison is committed to stay true to her fiance and her mapped-out future. Adventure, dramatic rescues, and family secrets all threaten Alison’s journey. Anne Wilson once again delivers a fantastic read. In a genre that has many women pigeonholed, it is refreshing to have someone write a book with a navy pilot heroine. Action scenes, fantastic dialogue and wonderfully developed characters allow this book to soar to the top of the summer reading pile. (AO)
Naval Academy graduate Lieutenant Sara Denning has a new assignment as a helicopter pilot for a Navy SEAL team. Sara is no stranger to being a minority. She has been assigned to short deployments as the only woman and has perfected the ability to put her head down and blend in. She had been a carefree typical girl lingering in malls and reading Vogue. But the death of her brother crushed her free spirit and forced her into a military life that he had dreamed of. Her current mission throws her into the path of confident and GQ-worthy Lieutenant Eric Marxen. Lt. Marxen treats Sara with respect and soon she finds herself letting down her walls when she is with him. This incredible debut novel is a refreshing change with a blend of action and romance. The author brilliantly details a strong woman living in a man’s world. The heroine is brilliant yet terrified and insecure. The military theme is not at all intimidating for non-military types. Highly recommend to readers who like suspense and a great love story. Don’t be surprised if your boyfriend/husband starts reading it after you finish it. (AO)
